Even after hiding, [GO figure China, lol] data from everyone, the Chinese quality of work has yielded only 79%
BTW, because China hides its data on this vaccine, we can't even say for sure it is 79%. It could be far lower. Poorer countries and or countries that can't get access to the best ones, quickly, are trying this vaccine for their people and they should wary. Remember how Chinese medical supplies were fake and or of inferior quality that countries had to return them when China originated Covid was unleashed on the world? This is risker

China's state-owned pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm has announced its coronavirus vaccine is 79.34% effective.
Interim analysis of Phase 3 clinical trials show the vaccine is safe and people who received two doses produced high-level antibodies, according to a statement published Wednesday by Beijing Biological Products Institute Co., a Sinopharm subsidiary.
The company said it was seeking formal approval from China's regulators to distribute the vaccine to the public.
Coronavirus vaccines developed by Sinopharm have already been administered to
hundreds of thousands of people under a controversial emergency use program approved by the Chinese government.
By November, nearly one million people had received a Sinopharm vaccine, according to the company's chairman, though he didn't specify which of the company's two vaccines they had received
Though few details were provided, the statement released Wednesday said the vaccine met the standards of the World Health Organization and China's own regulator, the National Medical Products Administration.
The Sinopharm vaccine is less effective than those developed by
Pfizer-BioNTech and
Moderna, which have an efficacy rate of about 95%. Russia's
Sputnik V vaccine is 91% effective.
And the vaccine's efficacy rate of 79% is lower than the
86% announced by the United Arab Emirates for the same vaccine on December 9. The UAE based its results on an interim analysis of late-stage clinical trials conducted there from July. It has since approved the vaccine for public use.

China approved its first homegrown coronavirus vaccine for general public use on Thursday, with officials promising to provide the general public with free inoculations.
